You've got a pickle, a snowglobe and a pool noodle. What will your legendary jailbreak be?

Many real-life prison escapes happened in ways one would not expect. Choi Gap-bok squeezed through a food slot to get out of his jail cell. Jack Sheppard was an 18th century prison break celebrity after pulling off the bedsheet rope trick a few times. Frank Abagnale actually convinced his guard that he was the prison inspector. Three Parkhurst Prison escapees actually created their own master key as part of their legendary breakout.

Compared with those, the task that lies ahead of you should seem like child's play.
You're in jail. Having managed to gather the three items crucial to your escape - those being a snowglobe, pool noodle, and a pickle - you must now conduct your escape plan. How will you do it?

The conditions are:
1. Your plan has to be possible to execute within 12 hours
2. You have to get out of jail in a condition allowing for further escape
3. You have to use all three items
4. You do not have help within the prison

Tell us in a comment how you're going to pull it off, but make sure to fit your plan in 100 words or less! Post your entry no later than Friday, February 20th at 4:59 PM GMT

- 1 post per person, any edits to be made within 3 hours of posting
- Winners will be announced no later than February 27th

We will choose 3 winners - each of them will get a swag bag from Team 17, publishers of The Escapists (incl. a towel, a hoodie and "prison soap") and 5 GOG.com gift codes to aid them in their jailbreak ploy. We’ll also pick honorable mentions and reward them with a GOG.com gift code each!

All of GOG staff are in jail for selling evil games to Germans. They're still trying to escape using a pickle, a pool noodle and a snow globe...
be patient.
it takes some time to test all our escape plans.

How many snowglobes do you think they have?
So... do we all win then?

After many hours of testing and multiple gruesome accidents involving pool noodle poisoning, we’ve determined which escape plans are the most likely to succeed!

The winners are:

avatar
ppd: Use the snowglobe to sight an interdimensional rift within the jail cell. Use the pool noodle to tear a hole in spacetime between dimensions. Cover oneself in pickle juice to protect molecular integrity while travelling between dimensions. Enter another dimension.

Potzato: Mmmh ... I use the snow globe to catch sunlight and focus all the solar energy to roast the pickle, the nefarious stench ensuing will force the guards to intervene, and when they arrive, I dazzle them with snow reflected, light focused double blinding combo. They won't see my crafty pool noodle ambush right in there way for them to trip on.

Repeat as necessary until all guards are dealt with.

PanzerAzelSaturn: Eat pickle
Call guard
Throw up pickle
Get escorted to nurse
Use noodle to push security camera up
Take out guard with snow globe
Dress in guard clothes and gear
Return snow globe to front desk
Walk out front door
Use noodle to help swim across channel
Grab a bite to eat (hopefully)
As promised, I’ll be contacting you guys for addresses to send your prison escape kits to.

However, those are not all the prizes to be awarded!

Additional special prizes also had to be awarded to the following users:

- toxicTom and his epic powers of creation,
- Ikaris_unbound for checking the contents of a snow globe and using the information found to their advantage,
- Ankareth for most spectacularly breaking the word count rule by 9,67 times the allowed number.

Huge thanks to everyone for participating, the choice truly was difficult to make - and I'll be in contact with each of the above-mentioned regarding your prizes!
